raidz is available for Freebsd through the file system format ZFS
and is similar to RAID-5.
Is that in FreeBSD 7.0 Production release?
But there is also RAID-Z2 which uses two forms of parity to achieve

Suppose you have a system with multiple disks managed by a

If you want to extend your disk space by plugging in an extra
disk, the hardware RAID controller will probably detect it
